Faithfulness is Always Rewarded

 Scripture:

“Then Mordecai left the king’s presence, wearing the royal robe of blue and white, the great crown of gold, and an outer cloak of fine linen and purple. And the people of Susa celebrated the new decree.” ‭‭Esther‬ ‭8‬:‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Mordecai served the Lord faithfully throughout his life. He did the right thing, when he didn’t know what that would do to him. He faithfully cared for Esther and raised her well. For years, he sat outside the gate of the king’s palace. His faithfulness through many years, ended with him in the palace wearing royal garments, a gold crown, and a cloak of fine linen and purple. He did the right thing, when that could have cost him his life. God sees every sacrifice, and He does reward those who follow Him completely.

Application:

When we remain faithful to God, we may not see quick results, but God honors our faithfulness. Faithful people always end up on top. God always raises the humble who continue to do the right things all the time. When we honor God in difficult situations, we can expect that He will eventually raise us up and promote us. God raises up the faithful.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are great and glorious! You are amazing and I love you with all my heart. Teach me to walk in Your ways. Help me to remain faithful to You and Your plans each and every day. Help me to always make the next right decision. When I don’t see results in front of me, help me to remain faithful. Let me serve You well in my years on this earth and let my life count.

Forever Yours,

Jeff
